Monday Montage

Which is posting on Tuesday. Oh well, at least I'm posting! Moving on....

Miss me? I've just been slowly going crazy with an overwhelmingly overloaded schedule here!

I spent most of Memorial Day weekend with my parents in the Lakes Region of NH. We went to the Canterbury Shaker Village on Sunday and hiking on Monday.

Earlier in June, I took this group of munchkins to Washington DC for 4 days. We had such a blast! The girls all had a fantastic trip - we got to tour the US Capitol Building, visited the Air and Space Museum and the American History Museum, spent almost 3 hours at the National Archives, walked all over the Mall, and went a giant Girl Scout Sing-Along at the Washington Monument. And I do mean GIANT:

We all had a blast at the concert, but I think the highlight of everyone's 90-degree day was when the Washington DC Fire Dept stopped by with their ladder truck. Giant sprinkler party!

Tired feet after a long day.

I left DC and flew directly to San Francisco for work. Do not pass NH, do not collect $200. I was only in town for a few days and most of it was spent either giving training classes or trying to catch up on some sleep. I did get a chance to walk around Pier 39, have a drink, and see the sea lions though! And I got to spend the night with Red and her awesome husband.

After a convoluted planes-trains-automobiles trip home from CA, my parents joined me at my house for another weekend and we hit up Ribfest. Ribs, pulled pork, bbq chicken, beer, grilled corn on the cob, fresh cut French fries, fried Oreos, and a really good Beatles cover band. Perfect weather, it was a great night.

Mom and I made a long-planned visit to see Auntie L, my grandma's twin sister. Today the twins celebrate their 83rd birthday! I will be seeing Grandma this weekend when I make the trek up to Maine for some family celebrations.

May the Fourth Be With You

Obligatory Star Wars nerd post for 5/4.

Now with crappy camera phone photo! The Yodas (Yodi? Yodae? A Force of Yodas?) are off one of the printers at work. We released some new materials, I needed some samples of said new materials, and was bored with flat rectangular material samples.

I can't believe I've been working here for over a year now. I still love the job and the company, though mildly apprehensive as there may be some shake-ups coming along soonish. Nothing formalized yet, so no further comments for now, but along with my mild apprehension, I am cautiously optimistic that this will be a good thing.

Happy Friday everyone, and I promise that I will try to be better about posting, both in frequency and in post content beyond endless to-do lists!

And May the 4th be with you. ;)
